Summer is here! It’s time to go outside and play, walk, run, swim and all of the things that summer in our area brings. It is also time to start thinking about protecting yourself from the sun and its effects. Find a good sunscreen, one that is endorsed by either the Canadian Cancer Society, or the Canadian Dermatology association. You do not have to go above 30 for the SPF, but you do have to reapply the sunscreen often, starting 30 minutes before you go outside for the first time of the day. Every time you go back inside, reapply. Snack time at the beach should include a reapplication of sunscreen. Enjoy the sun and the summer.
